    I take mine to redwood general tire in Redwood City. Ask for Alex and tell them Jesse with the white tacoma sent you.

    They see mine every few weeks, welded my alignment tabs that were bent from my first bad alignment and have been fixing and welding my truck ever since.

    You could also try Auto Innovations in Milpitas. They'll work to your numbers. My truck has been on their alignment rack several times.

    Wherever you go, make sure they know how to align a tacoma or you will end up with your tabs bent. From there it is pretty straight forward. I also have them locktight some of bolts because they come loosen when banging my LCAs on rocks.
